I had seen the BBQ truck around the Greenway and caught up with them on City Hall Plaza one afternoon. Lilian Wang was born and raised in Texas, and came to Boston for college. Missing the food, she decided to start her own line of bbq rubs and sauces. The cornbread side is really a […]

Jane Guo opened this restaurant in 2012, her second restaurant in Philly. The restaurant was getting busier and busier as the night went on – there were a few large […]
